THE CARE RITUAL OF JUST WRITING
YOU GIVE YOUR TIME, YOUR MIND, YOUR ENERGY, YOUR EVERYTHING to EVERYONE. THIS IS FOR YOU.
I'm gonna' bE COMPLETELY HONEST WITH YOU.
I USED TO HATE JOURNALING.
In fact, it took me a solid 10 years to overcome my resistance to keeping a journal. But the data is undeniable: regular writing works wonders.
Putting thoughts on paper can change careers, mend relationships, and support mental health . Research proves that jotting down goals increases success by over 40%. Gratitude journaling is renowned for boosting happiness.
Yet, we hesitate. We start journals, then quit. (I've begun at least 5 in January, abandoned by March.)
Are you curious about the benefits of journaling—but worried it'll be one more thing to do on your already-long list? Unsure —or afraid—of what you'll write? I hear you. I felt the same way.
THEN I DISCOVERED “JUST WRITING.”
What is “Just Writing?” It's journaling without judgment—putting words to paper without filter or fear. Without expectation, editing, pressure or perfection. In other words: no rules, just write.
It's a healing, an expression, a reflection, a release, a space for yourself. It's a way to get through, to get to the other side of something. For there is deep power in the process when you stick with it.
Enter, MINE: a full year of your own to explore your thoughts, feelings, goals, dreams, by learning the care ritual of ‘Just Writing’ – a consistent journaling practice. Each month, you'll get a carefully crafted monthly theme, spacious journal prompts, short weekly writing, and simple wellness rituals.
Whether you're a seasoned writer or just starting out, MINE is a self-care experience designed to help you explore and transform your life—one page at a time.
Repeat after me
I am ready to be with myself.
ALL YOU NEED IS A PEN, PAPER, AND AN OPEN HEART.
This isn’t taking care of yourself because you're supposed to. This is finally creating space for yourself—and letting that space take care of you. It's having “something that's mine,” and mining for the gold that's already inside you. It's spiritual alchemy—unearthing your own wisdom—so you can feel connected to something that's entirely yours: your self.
Are you getting excited yet?
MINE
A self-care journey into personal identity, intuition and finding your way forward, using the care ritual of "Just Writing." (No rules, just write!)
Take a look inside the curriculum that guides our journaling rituals each month.
↓
MONTH 1
MINE
What does it mean to have something that's just for you—not your children, partner, family, friends? In Month 1, we explore self-worth and self-care as a right instead of a reward. We examine self-care guilt—not as “normal” but, instead, as a common, conditioned response that we can unlearn—and how that unlearning unleashes our power.
MONTH 2
NOTICE
We worry endlessly about spending time and money—but there is perhaps no greater currency than attention. In Month 2, we focus to tangible ways to be more aware and present in everyday life.
MONTH 3
STILL
Our fast-paced world demands that we do more, more quickly, more often. We define who we are by what we accomplish. In Month 3, we stop sprinting to the finish line—and onto the next race—and we unearth the advantages of choosing stillness instead.
MONTH 4
BURN
Everyday life is enough to wear anyone down. Add in a big challenge (or two, or ten) in any given season, and you're at risk for burnout. Most self-care aims to “fix” it… but there's a lot to discover inside of this time, from prevention to feeling to healing. In Month 4, we ease—and honor—the burning.
MONTH 5
BARE
In a world of self-improvement products and makeup tutorials, how do we how to identify and accept who we truly are underneath the veils? How do we rely on our real selves, unadorned and without the armor we've grown used to putting on every day (and often forget to take off)? In Month 5, we'll play around with authenticity.
MONTH 6
BRAVE
Once we're used to our true voice and self, how do we start to approach it all—and take it into the world—with courage and confidence? In Month 6, we'll find ways to feel brave in everyday life.
MONTH 7
SURRENDER
We hear it all the time: “just let it go.” But how? What do we need before we can finally release our tight grip on the situations in our lives? What are the benefits of learning to surrender – and how do we start doing it? In Month 7, we sit with, and celebrate, surrender.
MONTH 8
SAVOR
One of positive psychology's favorite techniques, “savoring” is a popular way to be more present, practice gratitude, and let yourself feel really, really good. In Month 8, we practice taking pleasure in everyday life, finding its hiding places and giving ourselves permission to enjoy it.
MONTH 9
SHIFT
Transitions are a part of life – how can we make them more smoothly, gracefully, honestly? How might we support ourselves no matter what kind of moves we're making? In Month 9, we explore what it means to shift from one situation or season to another, and ways to work through, and flow with, change.
MONTH 10
REST
We know it's crucial to well-being; yet, rest is one of the first “priorities” to go when we need to get things done. In Month 10, we uncover ways to cultivate deep rest in a culture driven by busyness, using both practical daily rituals – and larger lifestyle changes – resulting in more restoration.
MONTH 11
NEST
Haven. Sanctuary. Refuge. No matter what you call it, there is great relief and safety in having a sacred space for yourself – especially in a world that can feel too big, too loud, too much. In Month 11, you'll nurture your inner self by creating a personal space – at home or elsewhere – that nourishes you.
MONTH 12
WHOLE
A year's worth of writing is an amazing accomplishment – but what do we do next. How can you take what you discovered and integrate it so that it improves daily life – instead of getting lost in all of the tasks and to-dos? In Month 12, we expand our practice into self-integration – the process of bringing all parts of ourselves together into alignment – allowing you to step into a more connected, balanced, sacred stage of your life.

FAQ
WHEN DOES THE MINE JOURNEY START?
MINE is consciously designed to be self-paced and flexible, so you can start anytime after you sign up. Once enrolled, you'll get an email confirming your purchase, and your first month's materials. You'll begin receiving your weekly reminders on Sundays, and future materials by email.
HOW LONG IS MINE?
Because journaling effects are best seen and felt over time, MINE is designed as a one-year program.
HOW DOES MINE WORK?
Each month, you'll get a new MINE Guide: an organized digital download in PDF format, with everything you need for your weekly practice. Once you get your MINE guide, simply download it, print it out (or view online with a notebook handy), and then dive right in to the first ritual. We'll also send you weekly writing reminders to keep your care consistent.
CAN I BUY INDIVIDUAL MONTHS OR “SEASONS”?
When MINE was first launched, it featured the ability to buy individual “seasons” of three months each. We have since streamlined the process for customers (and our team!) by making it a year-long program that only requires one purchase.
DO I HAVE TO DO THE JOURNAL PROMPTS BY HAND?
You can always type your answers or journal on a device. But I do strongly recommend that you print your monthly guides or at least use an electronic tablet pencil and complete your prompts by hand—our human brains tend to have easier access to creativity and emotion that way.
CAN I GET A REFUND IF MINE ISN'T A FIT FOR ME?
Because of the digital and downloadable nature of this experience, all purchases are non-refundable.
I HAVE A REALLY HECTIC LIFE. CAN I FIT JOURNALING INTO MY BUSY SCHEDULE?
The program is intentionally self-paced. It is clearly organized and designed with simplicity, to help anyone navigate it rather quickly—even in a few minutes! But for the best experience, I will invite you, each week, to slow down for your self-care writing ritual—for more presence and productivity!
WILL I EVER LOSE ACCESS TO MINE?
No, you can save them! When you receive your materials by email, you can download or print them out and keep them indefinitely for your own personal educational use. The links to materials may, of course, change or be removed in the future, so we recommend you create your own copy.
DO I HAVE TO PRINT THE GUIDES? IS THERE A PRINT VERSION (IN BOOK FORM) AVAILABLE?
You're welcome to print the guides and write directly, or to review the guides online and track your responses and reflections in your own notebook. The MINE Book will be available soon, as well, for purchase – and as a MINE member, you'll be one of the first to know about it via email!
MEET THE CREATOR—kelly newsome georges
There’s no greater feeling of happiness than knowing who you are. Learning to hear yourself - and fall in love with your life - comes only from the inside. You start to see that you have the power, the control, the choice. And that can change everything.
Over a decade ago, I fell into the wellness world by accident. I was a burned-out business lawyer and eventually, all out of other options, I turned to self-care to help me heal. I later started a private yoga and wellness company to help other women lawyers find time for themselves (and as a birth and postpartum doula, I also helped them have their babies!). But soon, I saw a bigger problem than busyness: our collective idea of “wellness” — flooded with popular, ineffective self-care hacks and pricey products — is off-base. And that can make us feel worse, not better.
I started coaching, teaching classes, and creating an arsenal of conscious care techniques to help women stay sane in our chaotic world. Ever since, I've been obsessed with teaching other women that self-care is not a “treat,” but instead a tool that can help take care of every aspect of our lives. And it's available to us all.
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
The longest relationship you'll ever have is with yourself. Take care of it.
